Introduction to C++ Multiset Functions
Multisets in C++ are the special type of containers which store elements with a specific order where more than two elements or multiple elements can possess some equivalent values. These values present within the multiset identifies the elements with its key value and pair value and they cannot be modified at any point of time once they are inserted within the multiset but one condition prevails which can get executed is that additional elements can be inserted and retrieved at any time. Some internal conditions are applied where these values within the element follows kind of ordering.
Top Functions of C++ Multiset
Below are the function and its Example of c++ multiset:
1. # find(const g)
It searches for the iterator passed with the argument; in case it is found in the multiset it will return the iterator else it returns the iterator at the end.
Example: This program illustrates the find(const g) function in the multiset.
Code:
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
multiset<int> k;
k.insert(6);
k.insert(7);
k.insert(3);
k.insert(2);
cout << "The _elements_ within_the _set_ are: ";
for (auto pr_ = k.begin(); pr_ != k.end(); pr_++)
cout << *pr_ << " ";
auto psn = k.find(6);
cout << "\n Set_of_elements after 7 are:";
for (auto pr_ = psn; pr_ != k.end(); pr_++)
cout << *pr_ << " ";
return 0;
}
Output:
2. begin()
The iterator present gets returned to the first element of the multiset array.
